Follow a newly hatched dragonfly as he learns to navigate pond life, and meet plenty of fascinating bug characters along the way, in this first graphic novel.
Chase thinks he'll stay a nymph forever. And its not a bad life in the pond he calls home. He's mastered the art of jet propulsion and how many insects can say that? But still, it would be fun to be one of those big, shining blue and green dragonflies flying overhead, chasing one another and making daring escapes from birds. Then one day, Chase feels a change. He has begun his metamorphosis into an adult dragonfly, which means leaving the water for the first time. Beyond the still surface, there's a world of adventure waiting.
Narrated by a wise old grasshopper, offering tips and tricks on how to be a dragonfly, and featuring laugh-out-loud moments, this tale of pond life is a perfect introduction to dragonflies for bug-obsessed little ones. Made in collaboration with the Royal Entomological Society, this book seamlessly blends facts and supporting information into the action, while hilarious illustrations from Steven Wood will engage even the most reluctant reader.
